Pantry clean up

My pantry has slowly become a place of horror..... A plain crapped out mess!!! Since I coupon I get large quantities of certain items, and when I get lazy it starts to stack up.. its just so much stuff at one time sometimes!! anyway. I took a cleaning to it today.. before and after!

Organizing here and there

I had a couple different things I worked on and wanted to post them together, plus I am participating in Organizing Junkie's monthly round-up ~ Vehicles (bottom of this post)
first I started out with my spice and such cabinet. I had to toss alot of thing to get everything to fit properly, but it was stuff that hadn't been used in a long while. Notice everything on the counter, that had to go in there as well. second, I have been putting off the top of the fridge for awhile, why, I dunno, I guess because its not directly in my sight I would just forget about it. I tossed alot of candy wrappers, the pretty much empty boxes of Valentines clearance candy, papers from around the sides, and wrapping from the packages of water that had some waters that were gone.

and finally Org Junkie's monthly organizing round-up ~ Vehicles . I didn't end up doing, much but the little bit I did do has helped in a HUGE way.
I am always ending up with trash around the van and the girls help contribute, I watched a car organizing short video and it suggested hooking a grocery bag on the arm rests between the 2 chairs, so I did, and I am so glad I did. The girls even like it and are using it regularly which is a huge help, since the van is so big, keeping it clean can be hard when trash is all over the place.

I also added I basket in between the girls seats for their random items, like toys, books, headphones etc, and with the handles I can use it to periodically bring in all of the toys when it gets too full, or the girls can use the handles to pull the basket up to get to the bottom of it.

more cleaning

slowly, very slowly, but surely the house is coming along one space at a time.
(sorry some of these things are gross, and they don't always look THIS bad, but take it as it comes!)

Surface / Shelf Organizing. I picked my Baker's Rack.

Here is a Before Pic.. This has been one of my "catch all" areas.During Pic... took everything off sprayed down and wiped the whole thing down with pledge all surface cleaner from THIS Randalls blog post. I even Sprayed the floor and baseboard with Clorox cleanup with bleach, since it is a hard area to clean with a mop or swiffer wet. The floor and baseboards turned out VERY white and clean!

And After Pic... Very minimal and clean open feeling

any suggestions comments??

Cleaning the giant desk of clutter & crap

The Cleaning and organizing of the computer room. Thanks Nena for this idea, I normally set aside time to clean the desk off, but only really the top part of the desk, not the whole thing. Doing the whole thing makes sense as the whole thing is filled with clutter and trash.
